The way I see it, life is a like a jelly doughnut. You don't really know what it's about until you bite into it. And then, just when you decide it's good, you drop a big glob of jelly on your best T-shirt. - Stephanie Plum, Ten Big Ones.

2011: Here we come

Last year my first journal entry of the new year went like this: "Happy New Year! Today is no only the first day in a new year, but the first this decade. I can officially say I am ready to move on and see what the future holds. After months of drama it seems like life may be able to move on and be on my own terms. I am making commitments to myself that are exciting. As for New Year's Resolutions here are mine:
1. Make Logan and Ben my top priority
2. Spend my money wisely.
3. Work as hard as I can"
On January 1st of last year, I took my wedding ring off. I would like to say this was done with some ceremony, but it was done more as a I am not going to wear you gesture...and I just never wore it again. Even though at that point Micheal and I had been separated over a month, I still felt the need to wear my ring. By taking it off it was like I was saying, "I am finally in control." Now what was I going to do with it? 2010 was not the year I had planned from that first journal entry. But it was a year that I feel like I can look back on and say, "I was happy in some parts, I laughed a lot, I cried a lot, and most importantly...I found me. Someone I needed to be reintroduced to desperately." I am hoping that 2011 will continue my progress in that direction...I know only time will tell.
